Chart Testing Ground...

A word about charts:

They really do not predict price so much as they guage people, traders, and their sentiments. And, in the sub pennies they really only record trading sentiment and Market Maker Behaviour in the past tense. Sometimes they will show where sentiment turns, sometimes they don't; especially in the subs. The thing is, triple zero charts are pretty useless except to record traders reactions, and foretell very little - except when they do.

So why bother?

Because people are creatures of habit and are attuned to groupthink. And charts do show where the traders are going. The trick is getting in and out on the turns of the crowd. Like when birds do that swoop in unison. They may be heading right for you, you duck - needlessly. Because in a blink of the eye they change course and go elsewhere.

People will believe in something so much that they will part with hard earned cash no matter what reality tells them. Until they don't. And then they will change direction with ferocity. Charts, sometimes, can give insight to where the crowd is heading. Trends are undeniable at times, but not unstoppable. They change and twist with the vagarities of the groupthink that is present.

Good Luck. This stuff is not as easy as it looks.
